Swords of different tiers should have different abilities, to make the process of upgrading to a new sword more rewarding. The stats below may not be perfectly balanced, but should at least serve to show what I mean.
Wood:
- Cannot perform a Sweep Attack.
- Cannot perform Critical Hits.
Stone:
- Cannot perform a Sweep Attack.
- Can perform Critical Hits
Iron:
- Can perform a Sweep Attack.
- Can perform Critical Hits
- Sweep Attack does 1.6 block knockback
Gold:
- Can perform Sweeps and Critical Hits
- Still does 4 damage
- 1.2 Attack Speed
- Sweep Attack does 1.2 block knockback
- even worse durability to compensate
Diamond
- Can perform Sweeps and Critical Hits
- Sweep Attack does 2.3 block knockback
Netherite
- Can perform Sweeps and Critical Hits
- Sweep Attack does 2.8 block knockback
- Enchantments are 1.2x more effective.
By making lower tier swords weaker and higher tier swords stronger, the process of upgrading to a better sword will feel more satisfying. It would also further incentivize upgrading in the first place.
